As system complexities rise and management and market pressures drive tight schedules, engineers find that meeting schedules and budgets are constantly top concerns. The innate, driving, subconscious ...

The right blend of tools, technologies, and strategies can help developers harness the power of CD, enabling higher quality and more robust embedded systems. The convergence of software and hardware ...

One of the biggest bottlenecks in the software development process for electronic products is that hardware is not available until late in the cycle. That means embedded software developers need to ...

Explore how a strong unit testing strategy can reduce dependence on hardware and minimize costly context switching caused by ...

Embedded software, once a challenge to write, update, and optimize, is following the route of other types of software. It is abstracted, simpler to use, and much faster to write. But in some cases, it ...

Debugging embedded designs is becoming increasingly difficult as the number of observed and possible interactions between hardware and software continue to grow, and as more features are crammed into ...

Medical device companies, especially those with real-time embedded-system products, are often burdened with lengthy verification cycles. Even small development efforts can result in months of ...

Electronic control units (ECUs) are vital embedded systems in vehicles; as such they impact numerous functions in a car and therefore must undergo rigorous testing. In any test workflow, ...

In previous articles, we looked at how to configure the kernel as well as the key components of an embedded operating system (OS). This new article focuses on the hardware components of embedded Linux ...

Internet standards such as TCP/IP, IPv6, XML, and SOAP even find their way into compact 8-bit embedded network devices. Pervasive networking permeates this week's Embedded Systems Conference in San ...

Key elements that drive a battery-cell tester. Three main architectures used to construct a tester. Battery-cell testers are commercially available at many different levels of performance. Performance ...
